For me, the installer works with defaults, so I hit "Enter" a few times and I'm done with the install. It just takes a few seconds, but you may need to go into more detail. After installing, the run command "opera" will launch the browser.

KIARA GNU/Linux is a full-featured general desktop live CD based on Slax 6.1.2, with packages ported from Slackware 12.2, and web software from Mozilla and Opera continually kept current.

KIARA GNU/Linux is a Live CD based on Slax with applications ported from Slackware, and continually upgraded to contain the very latest Web applications from Mozilla. KIARA combines the classic KDE3 desktop with an up-to-minute web experience in a live format that keeps your hard drive free for when you need to run something a little less old-school.

Besides KDE3, KIARA also contains some popular light Desktop GUI's, including FVWM, Fluxbox, and XFCE, and even some text-based applications chosen with running from the console in mind (emacs, irssi, lynx, and GNU Screen).
